Paris Goes All-Out To Entertain Flood Of U.S. Tourists Paris (UPD-American tourists are flocking to Paris in stead ily increasing numbers and the gay and glamorous city on the Seine is going all-out to entertain them. According to F. Paul Far ish, general manager of the American Chamber of Com merce, 700,000 Americans are expected to visit Europe in 1959. Of this number, France anticipates about 550,000. "Eighty per cent of those who come to France make a point of seeing Paris," said Farish. An interesting development in European travel is the package "tour, -which is' a big factor in the booming travel market. It is often a combina tion of many forms of trans portation ship and air; air and bus; ship and train; ship, air and auto; air and auto, and so on. Tours Available All the big shipping compa nies, like American Export Lines, the U.S. Lines and Cu nard, the airlines like Pan American and TWA, have package tours available.

I AETNA ILDFE .INSURANCE CO. ROOM 30 CENTURY BUILDING Mediterranean port of Cannes on the Riviera. Tourists " sailing from New York on the luxury liners Constitution or Independence disembark and proceed to Paris by train or plane. It's 10 hours by train and one hour and a half by plane. Aft er touring in France and else where on the continent, trav elers can take either ship on the return voyage. The sun-lane route is as fast from New York to Cannes as by way of northern channel ports and the weather is bet ter the year around. Talking Point i, Thejiew joute has provided tour leaders with a strong talking point. Raymond T. De Nite, assistant vice president of the American Express Com pany in France, said: "There is a tendency on the part of tourists to go at least one way by ship. The Medi terranean route gives tour leaders an opportunity to of fer this optional way of trav eling. Air connections to Paris are excellent." Newspapermen who made a preview trip from New York on the Constitution disem barked in mid-morning at Cannes. They boarded the French Railway's "Mistral" at 12:30 p.m. and arrived in Par is at 10:53 p.m., right on time. Paris, of course, is as beau tiful as ever. Lights blaze all over the city. Everything is humming. The streets are alive with pedestrians. The sidewalk cafes are crowded. Traffic No Different Motor cars, buses and bi cyclists whirl along the thor oughfares at a dizzy pace. Traffic congestion seems no different than New York, Chi cago or San Francisco. Hotels are packed to capac ity. The cocktail bars are jammed with tourists. Farish told reporters that France has changed in the last year and a half under President Charles de Gaulle. The French now "know where they're g o i n g," he said. France, he added, is doing a wonderful job of reconstruc tion and the French standard of living is improving steadily. An open house will be held' Friday, June 19, at the Cen tury building, East Main st, between 2 and 4 p.m. It will mark the official opening of the new building which was completed this year. The building, the old Com munity hospital, was sold last September to Claude H. Essel strom and Harold A. Essel strom, Roseburg businessmen. During the Friday event,; coffee and doughnuts will be served to the public and tours' will be conducted through the building. The building was remod- Some Radiation Helps Life Span San Diego, Calif.- (UPD -A medical researcher thinks that small amounts of radia tion may, lengthen human life rather than shorten it. Dr. Crawford F. Sams, of the University of California, offered a theory that all ra diation was not bad. He spoke before a session of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. "I'm ashamed that some scientists have assumed that all radiation is bad," he said. "We have become so con cerned with : the effects of high radiation that we have overlooked the facts." He cited experiments in which rats exposed to low level radiation lived 30 per cent longer than most rats. "You cannot say that firing two more nuclear bombs will decrease the hu man life span," he said. "It might increase it." He emphasized that he was talking about small amounts of radiation and not massive baths. eled into offices by the archi tectural firm of Seibert and Site with Stanley G. Parrish, general contractor. Parts of the old structure were de molished in November. Naming Contest Held A, contest was run in No vember to chose a name for the new office building. The title "Century" was submitted by Mrs. R.

State Scholarship Regulations Tc'd ' Salem-(UPD -Students nomi nated for state-paid scholar ships by members of the leg islature before the repeal of the old free-scholarship law must re-apply to the new State - Scholarship Commis sion if they have not already been selected by their county court, according to Attorney General Robert Y. Thornton. Sen. Frank Weatherf ord re quested the opinion because he had nominated a Fossil High school senior for a free scholarship to Oregon State college before passage of the new law. , The new law became effec tive in May. It created a State Scholarship Commission which can award one scholar ship for each seat in the Leg islature and one for each county in the state. Under the old law, qualified stu dents were nominated Jy leg islators and then were select ed by lot by their county courts. The boy in question will have to apply to the new commission.

" ' i Suicide Prompts Typecasting Study Hollywood-(UPI-The Screen Actors Guild Wednesday was prompted by the suicide of actor George "SuDerman" Reeves to discuss typecasting. "The guild has long recog nized the grave difficulties created for an actor who gets so well established in a par ticular role that he cannot find employment in any other," said Guild executive secretary John L. Dales. "This was true to a certain degree in theatrical motion pictures but is even more dif ficult in television pictures." Dales said the guild's an swer to the problem was its successful bargaining for resi dual payments to actors for re-runs of TV films. He also pointed to its present program for laws permitting actors to average income taxes over a period of years rather than pay high taxes in their peak earning years. i Americans receive and use ! about 250 billion free matches every year.
